BrainSTEM ICE

BrainSTEM Instructional Camp for Educators (ICE) was a one-and-a-half day intensive workshop for Canadian high school guidance counsellors and Careers teachers which focused on exploring novel and innovative career developments and the skills required to excel in them.

How can senior STEM courses give students, considering studies in a variety of disciplines, an advantage? On August 6 and 7, 2013, BrainSTEM ICE provided an opportunity for guidance counsellors and Careers teachers from across Ontario to delve into Perimeter Institute’s newest resource and find answers through discussions with colleagues and unique professional development at Perimeter.

Launching the sharing phase of Perimeter's full BrainSTEM initiative, BrainSTEM ICE also provided opportunities for educators to explore some of the latest entrepreneurial niches and new technological advances that will shape the careers available to students in the future. BrainSTEM ICE participants were invited to join Perimeter’s Teacher Network and share the resource across the province.
